A Kentucky woman Friday filed an emergency class-action lawsuit, asking a Jefferson County judge to allow her to terminate her pregnancy. It’s the first lawsuit of its kind in Kentucky since the state banned nearly all abortions in 2022 and one of the only times nationwide since before Roe v. Wade in 1973 that an adult woman has asked a court to intervene on her behalf and allow her to get an abortion.

    Please present evidence that the nation was less divided over the right of women to vote than they are now over abortion. The only reason I think you could possibly say that is if you were totally ignorant of the subject. Women were literally tortured over it.

    Suggesting I am incapable of staying on topic when you were the one who brought up the idea that we’re too divided to codify abortion is silly. I am showing you examples of times when America was far more divided and the Constitution was still amended. Your ignorance of history is behind your argument and I am trying to show you why.

      Alright bud, I’m not going to just sit here and keep proving you wrong so you can pivot and throw more bullshit at me.

        I’m pretty sure you didn’t prove me wrong about anything, you just showed a profound ignorance about women’s suffrage.

          Okay. The nation was less divided during the civil war and a war wasn’t necessary to amend the constitution to outlaw slavery.

          Are you happy now, Mr. Historian?
